Incidence of HPV
It is the most common viral STD
Causative Organism of HPV
caused by DNA Popova virus.
Sites affected by HPV
affects the vuvla, vagina, cervix, perineum and anus as condyloma accuminata (genital warts).
Types & Pathologies of HPV
- Types 16 &18 cause flat warts with the risk of CIN.
- Types 6 &11 cause exophytic warts with no malignant potential.
CP of HPV
- The characteristic lesion is genital wart which may be single or multiple.
Dx of HPV
- Direct demonstration of virus: by electron microscopy
- Detection of viral Ag
- PCR
- Viral isolation: on tissue culture.
- Pap smear: Koilocytosis may present [some cells with atypia or dysplasia]. βοΈ
- Colposcopy: mandatory for all cases to exclude atypical cells. βοΈ
TTT of HPV
- Small lesion: Topical podophyllin, trichloroacetic acid or 5-fluorouracil.
- Large lesion: Cryotherapy, electrocautery or laser therapy
Causative Organism of HSV
DNA herpes simplex virus type II.
CP of HSV
- Multiple vesicles which may coalesce together to form superficial painful ulcers.
INVx in HSV
- Direct demonstration of virus: after staining by Giemsa stain (presence of multinucleated giant cells is suggestive). βοΈ
- Viral isolation: On tissue culture.
- Serology: for detection of viral Abs in patientβs serum.
TTT of HSV
- Antiviral drugs: Acyclovir, Iodoxuridine & Vidarabine.
- Symptomatic treatment: Analgesics.
Causative Organism of AIDS
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
- RNA retrovirus
- Attacks T4 lymphocytes β cell death OR T4 dysfunction with altered body immunity.
CP of AIDS
- The patient may be a carrier for many years.
- Aids related complex: Lymphadenopathy, oral candidiasis, pneumonias, recurrent viral infections like HSV or cytomegalovirus, T.B., toxoplasmosis.
- Persistent lymphadenopathy, fungal, bacterial and viral infections.
INVx of AIDS
- Direct demonstration of virus: by PCR.
- Viral isolation: by lymphocyte culture.βοΈ
- Serology: Detection of viral Abs in patientβs serum by ELIZA or Western blotting. βοΈ
TTT of AIDS
Mainly prophylactic to avoid acquiring infection.
Causative Organism of Gonorrhea
Neisseria gonorrhea (gram βve intracellular diplococci)
CP of Gonorrhea
- It affects areas lined by thin epithelium (columnar OR transitional) not stratified epithelium.
- It may cause urethritis, Bartholinitis, cervicitis, salpingitis (PID) or arthritis (via blood spread).
- Burning urination, frequency, dysuria with urethritis.
- Discharge with Bartholinitis or cervicitis OR even picture of PID.
INVx of Gonorrhea
- Direct demonstration of organism: by Gram stain.
- Culture and sensitivity: On Thayer martin or chocolate agar. βοΈ
- Serology: Detection of Abs in patientβs serum.
TTT of Gonorrhea
Penicillin or cephalosporins.
Causative Organism of Syphilis
- Treponema pallidum
Pathology of Syphilis
INVx for Syphilis
TTT of Syphilis
Benzathine penicillin-G is the drug of choice.
CO of Chancroid
Hemophylus ducreyi
CP of Chancroid
Painful vulval ulcer + lymphadenopathy.
INVx for Chancroid
- Direct demonstration of organism: by Gram stain.
- Culture: on Chocolate agar.
TTT of Chancroid
Erythromycin
CO of Granuloma inguinale
Campylobacter granulomatis.
CP of Granuloma inguinale
- Painless vulval nodule that progresses to ulcer + No lymphadenopathy.
INVx for Granuloma inguinale
Direct demonstration of organism:
- by Gram or Wright stain (presence of Donovan bodies inside macrophages are essential for diagnosis).
TTT of Granuloma inguinale
Tetracycline
CO of lymphogranuloma venereum
chlamydia trachomatis, the commonest STD in sexually active women.
Characters of chlamydia trachomatis
It is obligate intracellular organism between viruses & bacteria.
Sybtypes of chlamydia trachomatis
- It is of 15 serotypes.
- Serotypes L1, L2, L3 cause lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV)
- Serotypes D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K cause genital infections other than LGV as urethritis, Bartholinitis, cervicitis, endometritis & salpingitis (PID).
Phases of lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV)
Phases of lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV)
- 1ry
shallow painless ulcer on labia.
Phases of lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV)
- 2ry
Phases of lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV)
- 3ry
- rupture of buboes, formation of multiple sinuses & fistulas discharging
pus.
CP of Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV)
Clinical manifestations according to the phases mentioned before.
INVx for Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV)
Direct demonstration of organism: by detection of chlamydial Ag by monoclonal Abs via ELISA (the test of choice).
Culture: tissue culture.
